Help me find 5160s

[Mattiusmaximus1216]

Title says it all. Looking for some 5160s for the rear of my rebel. I have 6112s and new UCA sitting in my garage. I can’t find 5160s at all. Anyone know who actually has them in stock? Been on a waiting list for 6 months and counting.


Thank you.

I ordered mine in August of 2021 and have the fronts sitting as well. Still no real update. I am thinking about switching to ICON to match the rear springs I got but I am not sure if that will affect ride quality due to the different brands front and rear.

I got some fox 2.0’s because I didn’t want to wait. I like them, but will be going back to stock front struts soon and putting the fox 2.0’s up for sale.

Yeah bilstien needs to figure it out. I understand the current issue but if that’s the case tell your distributors to stop taking orders

Well I got a notice from shock surplus they 5160 was back in stock. I was able to place an order. Let’s see if it actually shows up.

Why are you going back to stock?

Why are you going back to stock?

I’m deciding on icons or fox 2.5’s since they support a taller lift, and I want something with external reservoirs.

Good luck! I was just told "early July" from AJUSA so fingers crossed.
